KODAK Portra 400 Professional ISO 400, 120 propack, Color Negative Film (5 Rolls per Pack)

There's almost 1,000 reviews for this film. What could I possibly add? Nothing new. But here's my review anyway:The film is great. It has the perfect amount of grain to it, the colors are awesome, and it develops easily using a 2 bath process. This film is the first time I ever developed my own film; and it was super easy to do following the instructions. So, if you're worried about your film turning out badly because you have never developed before: don't worry so much about it. This film is easy to work with, and develops easily.

This is great film for your 120 cameras you get an almost perfect ASA for just about any conditions and wonderful Kodak Portra color

Kodak Portra is my favorite color film. It's almost impossible to expose incorrectly, it has a really wide latitude (I'm not even sure how wide, it's really hard to get an unusable shot out of it,) the grain is impossibly smooth and the color reproduction is perfect.I have shot all of the color negative and slide films that are being made today and I love Portra more than all of them, including Kodak's own Ektar. There is nothing bad I can say about this film.I run it through my Mamiya RB67 and I have it processed professionally. I have never gotten bad results out of this film.

I love this film. You can do almost anything with it. If I know I'll be in sunlight, or really nice bright light, I'll opt for the ASA 160, but if I don't know where my day will take me, it's this film all day long.Colors start out a bit muted, which gives for great skin tones and portraits, especially for kids in the "instagram" generation looking for that film look. I always add a bit of saturation in post, and photos end up looking vibrant and believable. Colors are nowhere near as in-your-face as with a slide film like Velvia or Provia, but still very very nice.Exposures are very forgiving, though I like to over-expose by about 2/3 of a stop, as a matter of taste.

I have a Holga camera and was doing around of fun experiments with my art group. We were all using Holgas and films of various types. When my pictures came in, people were quite impressed with the color and tone of them. So the film definitely held up to the randomness of the Holga and did an awesome job in a number of different lighting conditions.I was on a trip to Cozumel, to the Mayan ruins there, so there was light and shadow, different color combinations, and subtle things like a grey lizard against grey stone. The film did quite well in all situations.I'm very glad I got this film.

I use 120 film in my pinhole cameras and have used Ektar 100 for some time. I wanted to do some indoor work so I bought the 5 pack of Portra 400. It is great except in one area. The frame number markings on the paper roll are quite faint. It may be leading to some fogging but since I get a bit anyway so it is hard to tell. Anyway I have to use my iPhone flashlight just to see the numbers when I advance the film.My Ektar is easy to see and I have used 3 5-packs of it so far.Otherwise, I would give it 5 stars.

All of Kodak's most recent color negative films (Ektar 100, New Portra 400, New Portra 160) exhibit excellent dynamic range and tonality that seems to push the bar for color negative film even more. Anyone who's shot color negative before knows how well it renders highlights and lighter tones, and this film isn't an exception. This film is more saturated than the new Portra 160, but not by a large margin. If you want a slight increase in the punch of the color though, I recommend pushing the film to 800 ISO, and developing the film longer (approximately 40 seconds more if you're doing your own processing). Shadow detail will remain perfectly in-tact, and if you're still concerned, overexpose by .5-1.0 stops. The film can handle it, easily. You can also push this film up to 3200 ISO and still get excellent results (better than I've ever seen before with color neg), but the contrast increase will be noticeable.

My youngest daughter loves shooting with film. As an old photographer, I used to shoot with a Mamiya RB 67 medium format camera. I ended up buying another Mamiya camera and gave it to my daughter, but not before shooting a few rolls. I gave her the camera for her birthday and she’s done really well using it with this film. Highly recommend this film if you shoot 120.
